Nixon Industrial Diamonds

read moreWe are constantly developing innovative new tooling and providing our workforce with comprehensive, continuous training. Every member of our production team completes a 4 to 5 year training course to become extremely highly skilled, not only in traditional engineering machining techniques but also in the use of modern diamond technology. Everyone in the company has a complete commitment to excellence, both in products and customer care services.

read moreDiamond, both PCD and natural, is considerably harder and more wear resistant to carbide. This can be used to great advantage when applied to wear parts and contact points, resulting in reduced costs, reduced downtime and increased component accuracy. Our wear part tools are custom-designed to suit the individual requirements of our customers' applications. Typical examples are vee supports, gauging fingers, gauging points, back stops, work rest blades and centre points. Call us now on +44(0)2476 686069 for further information on wear part tooling, or if you prefer you can request information by email.

read moreMonocrystal diamonds are derived from high quality single crystal diamonds synthesised under tightly controlled growth conditions. The flawless synthetic Monocrystal diamond Logs, which are uniform in cross section and length, are hand set into a blade format, providing the ultimate consistency and controlled finish dressing for both straight pass grinding or profiling. These tools are highly recommended as a maintenance free alternative to natural diamond chisels especially on CNC grinding machines where automatic wheel dressing and compensation can be utilised because of the consistent dressing characteristics throughout the life of the tool.

read morePolycrystalline diamond (PCD) consists of a layer of diamond bonded to a carbide substrate. The diamond layer provides high hardness and abrasion resistance, whereas the substrate improves the toughness and weldability. Polycrystalline diamond (PCD) is generally recommended for the machining of non-ferrous workpiece materials where high abrasion resistance is required. Due to its high abrasion resistance, PCD is also ideal for use in wear part applications (both ferrous and non-ferrous contact surfaces).

read moreConsumable multipoint dressing tools are normally used as a less expensive alternative to larger single point dressers for straight or form dressing. Hand set selected diamonds, graded to suit the grinding wheel grit size, share the load instead of a larger single diamond. They are maintenance-free dressers which only need replacement when the diamond content has been fully utilised. Call us now on +44(0)2476 686069 for further information on consumable multipoint tooling, or if you prefer you can request information by email.

read moreSPD (Single Point Dressing) tools are the most widely used dressing tools for truing grinding wheels. SPD tools are supplied as either resettable or consumable (throwaway)types. We can supply a choice of up to 7 different grades of diamond designed to suit each individual application. The grade reflects the quality and strength of the diamond as well as indicating the number of possible resets. When chosen carefully and used correctly, SPD tools can also be very economical. SPD tools come in various standard size holders but we can also manufacture them according to specific requirements.
